You should wire those sagging mufflers up with some baling wire!

I think that's how those mufflers are made. They typically look like that on the SC's and GS'. Plus it has to sit lower on the 01-03's since there isn't any exhaust holes in the bumper.

I saw the guys post that you sold your rims to, I had forgotten the correlation from your username to the rims. I knew they were yours though, lol. They'll look good on his car. Your car almost looks silver in the pics, I guess it's the angle hitting the pearl the way it is.

The Gnosis HS203's? Yeah I sold them to one of the guys in our car club, I think the gold will look great with his color of car.

I sold these black ones as well, I have something new on the way
